Sunday's match v the Strathmore Gents was a 4 x 4ball event with reduced teams of 8 on each side. The Sunset Challenge was originally set up as a 'Ryder Cup Type' competition with 4 ball better ball; foursomes and Singles over 3 Monday evenings in June 2004.
On the first and only encounter before this year the Seniors won the glory. Sad to say on this, the second and much reduced encounter, the Gents Section took the glory with a 4-0 whitewash, the majority of matches ending on the 17th hole and one on the 16th.
Needless to say there was a fair deal of banter and friendly agro between the teams as they battled their way round the course.
Chancer Of The Evening Award goes to Eric Gray whose ball rattled the flag and dropped dead from 60 yards on the eleventh and then bettered it on the 12th,chipping in from off the green to snatch a net birdie win after visiting the woods with his third shot.
Great fun and good entertainment but we will be looking for revenge next year when hopefully both teams can garner a full team of twelve for what should become an annual encounter.
The Seniors Team was:
Ernie Wastell & Jim Davidson
Sandy McGibbon & Jim Ross
Ron Haynes & David Robinson
George Allan & Alan Morrison.
